A Teaser Excerpt
Broken. I couldn’t think of a
better word to describe it. I felt as if I’d been torn to bits, maybe even
shredded. I was suffocating, surrounded by a wet tightness of skin and flesh
all crusted together. My body was home to excruciating stabs of pain searing
about randomly before a final thrust of sheer agony. I couldn’t tell if the
source of the pain was within me or if I was being repeatedly sliced open with
a knife. Did it matter? I felt as though it was only a matter of seconds before
my thoughts would end.
“Cordelia!”
My name. I flinched as the same
voice repeated my name again and again. Why? Who was it? It—he—sounded
familiar. I heaved as the voice triggered the memory of his face. Then, not
being able to stop the bile from traveling up my throat, I gagged and purged,
emptying my stomach completely. The next time he muttered my name, his voice
was laced with disgust. But his revulsion couldn’t compete with my utter
repugnance and disbelief at what he’d done. Him. Someone I had trusted with my
life, even though the rule was clear:
Trust
No One.
